I purchased this book for my 5 year old home schooled son who wants to do crafts all the time. Of course Mom doesn't always have the time for another craft so this book has been great. The projects are easy and take very little if any instruction from Mom. The projects also help reinforce things he is learning during school time such as spelling, matching, using scissors, following directions, etc.The book gives a list of needed items in the front cover such as glue, tape, scissors, etc. Occasionally the book calls for yarn or other items not listed in the front but they are usually items that are easy to find around the house.I have put together a plastic box with a lid which I added glue sticks, kid scissors, tape, crayons, paper and a few craft books including The Never-Bored Kid Book Ages 4-5, I Can Draw Animals and I Can Draw People (The two latter are by Usborne). I added a few more books but his favorite is the Never-Bored Kid Book. Then the I Can Draw books. He has access to this box and can use it any time.I put together a similar box as stated above for my niece for her 8th birthday and I included The Never-Bored Kid Book, Ages 7-8.I will definitely buy the next book in the seres for my son when he is ready. This book has been great.
